Epic Voyages in the Most Improbable Vessels

"What a great collection of true adventures occurring in small boats! Not only is this book extremely well researched, but it is also entertaining and inspirational. A Speck on the Sea chronicals the history of small boat sailing - and rowing and rafting and a few more bizarre methods of transportation - over the past several hundred years. The voyages described are various: phenomenal or silly; intentional or accidental; successful or tragic. But all are fascinating tales that make one realize the capacity of humans to overcome odds (or not, as the case may be)."Story
